Chapter 405: The Three Elements of Voldemort's Resurrection

It was not surprising to Ryan that Voldemort was planning to resurrect in Azkaban and even use it as his base.

[Firstly, since it became the British wizard prison in 1718, the Ministry of Magic has used specific spells to make Azkaban hidden and unmappable from the Muggle world.

After hundreds of years of renovation by the Ministry of Magic, every brick and stone and railing in this prison is engraved with traces of magic. Voldemort only needs to make a slight modification to make this prison so that even wizards cannot find it, as if it is in another world.

Secondly, a sophisticated Eternal Traceless Extension Charm was engraved inside it to ensure that it could accommodate all the criminals in the UK.

This fortress-like prison has an astonishingly large interior space, and a cemetery has been built inside the prison to bury those who died of despair.

Therefore, the remains of wizards were originally buried in this prison.

This perfectly fulfilled one of the conditions for Voldemort's resurrection.

Third, Azkaban was built in the 15th century. It was originally just a fortress where an evil wizard who called himself Axtis lived.

This wizard lured Muggles to his island and tortured them to death.

The wizard's magic combined with the negative emotions of the dead Muggles gave birth to a disgusting Dementor that feeds on happiness and souls.

After Axtis's death, the hiding spell he had used on the fortress and the island became ineffective.

The Ministry of Magic only knew of the existence of such an island at this time, but the Ministry of Magic at that time did not dare to destroy the fortress and offend the Dementors.

For the next two centuries, the Dementors continued to thrive freely. When the International Statute of Secrecy came into effect, the fortress was supposed to be destroyed, but this was prevented by the 17th-century Minister for Magic, Damocles Rowle.

He also pointed out that the use of small wizarding prisons was impractical, as prisoners trying to escape would often create noticeable noises, smells, and lights.

And building a dedicated wizard prison on the remote Hebridean Islands is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

So, under Rawl's promotion, the Dementors, whose happiness had slowly stopped reproducing due to the lack of fresh souls, now had a fresh source - the happiness of living prisoners and the souls of dead prisoners.

This behavior has continued to this day for four centuries.

The accumulated negative emotions of these four centuries and the ancient Dementors perfectly fulfilled the remaining two conditions for Voldemort's resurrection.

Fourthly, since 1717, anyone who uses any Unforgivable Curse on another person will be sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban (unless there is sufficient evidence to show that the caster used the Unforgivable Curse under the influence of the Imperius Curse, or that he or she was an Auror during the First Wizarding War and had obtained special authorization from the Ministry of Magic).

This decree resulted in a situation where even after Arthur Weasley removed the minor criminals, there were still a lot of serious criminals in the prison.

In Voldemort's view, these prisoners were just reserves in his Death Eater team, which already consisted of only a few big and small ones.

But Voldemort didn't expect that when he was trying to communicate the history of the prison to avoid a sudden attack by Dumbledore and his men, the Death Eaters he had distributed magic wands to would kill all the prisoners.

In Ryan's opinion, Voldemort chose this place not only because of the above four reasons, but also because it was his plan to cut off the source of the problem.

In the original world line, Voldemort actually wanted to accumulate magic power over time, then choose a wizard as a carrier to possess him, and then resurrect.

But the appearance of Quirrell and the Philosopher's Stone made him take a risk, because the Philosopher's Stone could resurrect him in a more powerful form. If he failed, he would just be an animal in Albania for a while.

And because of the power of Harry's love, Voldemort failed.

This failure should have kept him silent until Harry graduated. But the appearance of Peter Pettigrew gave him a wizard as a servant, and Bertha Jorkins, who was killed out of curiosity, brought Voldemort news of a Death Eater who was much better than Peter.

Voldemort, who temporarily possessed Peter, successfully controlled Crouch Sr. and retrieved Crouch Jr.

This gave him a new idea, to use the blood of his enemies, the flesh of his servants, and the bones of his father to revive him. This method was actually not within his consideration - it was too weak.

But Harry Potter's blood can restore some of his strength when he is resurrected through this ritual, and overcome the power of love in Harry.

Then, Voldemort, who had overcome his weakness but needed time to recover, stayed behind and used Fudge and Dumbledore to fight each other.
In the world changed by Ryan, Voldemort lost his calmness and certainty of victory. After draining Quirrell's magic power and escaping, he actually chose to directly consume the lives of the Death Eaters to temporarily restore his strength.

He also set his sights on the Elder Wand. Ryan, unwilling to be disturbed by Voldemort, took action and the second consumable, Fenrir Greyback, was reduced to ashes.

Voldemort was beaten back to the state before he met Quirrell.

There is no way to forcibly possess the wizard again and turn him into a consumable.

Originally, Voldemort should have hidden in the Albanian forest to accumulate magic power. But perhaps it was fate that Voldemort, who had given up, appeared in front of the Death Eater Walton MacNeill, who suddenly had the courage to control Voldemort like Quirrell.

The result was that Voldemort accepted the new body with tears.

He summoned his former subordinates again, preparing to negotiate peace with Dumbledore, relying on time to wear Dumbledore down, without resurrecting him yet.

But Grindelwald appeared again and destroyed his temporary body again.

But this time, he drained McNeill's magic power just like he did to Quirrell.

In this way, he can forcibly possess others again.

The younger version of himself, Grindelwald, the potential of Harry Potter, and the presence of Dumbledore made Voldemort decide to give up.

So he chose Azkaban.

This was a plan he had thought about many times in his mind, and it was even seen by Harry.

The reason why he did not adopt this plan after draining Quirrell's magic power.

In fact, this is because it also has a big flaw. First, his base will be fixed in Azkaban for up to one year.

Second, although he has been resurrected from four centuries of negative emotions and Dementors, as well as a large number of wizard corpses, he may be resurrected in a stronger posture.

But this ceremony takes too long, about a year.

During this period, if Dumbledore and his men broke into Azkaban, he would suffer even more serious damage due to the failure of the ritual.

By the time he recovers in that state and can forcibly take over a wizard's body again, Harry Potter will probably have grandchildren.

Thinking of his miserable failure, Voldemort solemnly recited a long spell in front of his men who had been taught by him how to reform Azkaban.
